Dr j. Elder Of Streator, Ills, friend Of
Mr. G. GehriDg of the cracker company is in
the city looking after his interests. Near q
year ago he was in the city and bought an
acre of ground in what was the suburbs, for
$500. As the bad reports were circulated at
his home concerning the busted boom Of
Wichita, some of his neighbors were inclined
to smile at him because he had property in
Wichita He reports having said little him
self but thought to himself he would not take
less than 5000 for his acre, 'bust or no
bust" To be sure Of fully
compreben ding the situation he decided
to come out and size up the town. Yester
day he stated most emphaticaly that he
would not take less than 5000 for his acre.
He was surprised to see that it was no longer
in the suburbs, but was comparatively very
much nearer the center of the city. He says
he can now look his friends back home in
the face and tell them facts about Wichita
that will give them a chance to know some
thing of its greatness.

VERY REV. DEAN CASEY.
VERY REV. D~A OASEIs
Late Action of 2 hi, PIE nary Council or Baiii
more and Appointment of Father Casey
as Team Of wichita Diocese.

In accordance with The late action Of the
third Plenary Ccuncil of Baltimore, this do
cese has been divided into two deanaries.
| The deauery in which Wichita is located is
| composed of the counties of Sedgwick, Sum
| ner, Kingmao, Harper, Pratt, Barber, Co
manche, Ford, Finney, Seward and Hamil
| ton.
| A few days ago the Rev. Father Casey
was appointed Dean of the Wichita deanery.
He will exercise a general supervision over
| the temporal and spiritual affairs of this dis
trict. Conferences of the clergy for discuss
| ing theological and other questions will be
called by him He will also suggest appoint
| ments of clergy end send in reports OF Off
Gals.
As is known, Father Casey has been pastor
| of st. Aloysius church, in this city, for
nearly two years. His effective work and
rare ability as clergyman is conceded by
all Since his coming to the city the St.
Aloysius church building has been erected,
/ which is one of the finest church buildings
in the state in every particular. 1t is one
hundred and twenty feet by fifty, cos ing
over $780, 600.
! All Hallows Academy, Of the West Side,
h& S been erected within the last year. The
building is S5x45 feet, four stories with base
ment, costing 10000. The academy opened
near the first of this month with a faculty
Of twelve teachers, who rank among the best
| Of educators. They are now in
attendance over fifty students and it is be-
lieved that the close OF the school year will
end double that number.
The basement of the DIOCESAN building ha7
been completed. It is S5x45 feet, four stories
with basement. Brick work will be com
menced in few days and it is expected that
the building will he completed by the first OF
| next December. The College Green town
has grown from nothing to an interesting
village The depot on the ". & W. has
been completed and passenger service is
given the town. The HAT dsome st. Joseph
church on the west side is one Of the late i'm
provements.
A two story brick building 45xSC
| feet is being erected on the north
east corner of Fourth avenue and Second
street by the church. The low story will
be used for school purposes end the upper
will be set apart for hall.
| In addition to the buildings mentioned
cutie number Of others have been erected
| since Father Casey took charge Of st.
| AloysiuS church. After all the buildings
that have been started are completed, the
church will have property worth over
100000
| Since Father Casey has almost complete
control of the matters in hand, it is certain
| that the Bishops palace and other diocesan
bull dipgs will be erected on the west side.
